Have you ever actually read the manual? I have. It’s thousands of words for how to build a single python library. If you look at almost any other language it will be a tenth of that. Ruby’s is literally like 4 commands total. The only people that think Python tooling is even halfway good are people that have never used a language with proper tooling.

The main problem is that Python purists have hardly used any other languages so they don’t realize how shitty their tooling is. The most direct comparison is Ruby and the tooling difference is astronomical. I always refer to this article for how bad the situation is https://chriswarrick.com/blog/2023/01/15/how-to-improve-python-packaging/
Yeah there’s literally only a few other programs that might prevent users from moving over now. I can only think of two suites, Office 365 and any sort of photogrammetry software.
There’s not a rule, it’s just a “sounds correct”. Because English doesn’t have rules, it has exceptions.
Cambridge even uses the word “normally” lol. https://dictionary.cambridge.org/grammar/british-grammar/adjectives-order
And here’s a fun stackexchange link where people argue about the order (since there isn’t a rule, it’s all made up). https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/1155/what-is-the-rule-for-adjective-order
One good quote from that link:
@cori - the fascinating linguistic point is that native speakers will have subconsciously inferred a rule like this without it ever being stated. The “rule” is really an observation of what they do. All languages and dialects consist of such unconscious rules. – Nathan Long Commented Apr 16, 2013 at 15:25
Well they’re all “correct”. They just don’t sound right. Like saying “the red, big apple” instead of “the big, red apple”.
If you aren’t interested in more parts of Linux or computers then you are likely not going to be reading this community. For example you made the comment, but you also state you have a home lab. So you’re at least partially interested in more.
Then by definition you are not in that category. You’re interested in more. So you both are interested in more and are in this community.
If you’re in that category you’re probably not in this community.
He didn’t. He wanted to use x11. You are completely incapable of reading. My analogy makes more sense because it’s describing what he did.
Since copy on highlight is default you literally just have to accidentally drag your mouse cursor in a terminal window and boom, you’ve copied empty text. It’s incredibly annoying.
he got hardware that worked with the default setup for the majority of linux DEs at the time… he literally followed your suggestion and has been waiting for support for it in wayland for a decade.
this has to be the dumbest argument I’ve seen in a few months on here. you’re literally telling someone to sell their car because you want them to switch to a different kind of engine that currently isn’t compatible with their car, even though they haven’t wanted to switch to a new engine for a decade.
agreed. and middle click being paste has to be one of the stupidest defaults. I understand people use it, and whatever, everyone has their own workflow, but now middle click to drag doesn’t work and you’ve confused everyone since now it’s different everywhere.
it isn’t if you’ve copied from an empty field by accident, or if your clipboard is empty.
I mean I know how to choose a distro and there’s no way in hell I’d ever use that chart to choose one. In addition I don’t really need to ask my wife because I can guarantee she wouldn’t read a single line of it.
It’s not a hypothesis that the reason people don’t switch to Linux is because it’s too difficult for the layperson. If you give them a flowchart that’s larger than any flowchart they’ve ever seen before, before they even touch the operating system, there’s no way in hell they’re gonna use Linux.
Huh? A new user is going to have trouble understanding the base difference between gnome and kde. Flooding them with information about the history of all these operating systems will do nothing except to scare them off even more.
For a new person it’s useless. For anyone distro surfing why wouldn’t you just use distro Watch?
Six months ago??? People were saying to use mint back then too, like every thread. I understand it’s completely based on your hardware but you can understand how it’s hard to trust anyone saying mint right? On the other hand CachyOS and Garuda both work really hard to make sure every hardware config works properly.
Idk. I was making a joke though. A history of Linux chart is functionally useless for actually choosing a distro.
It was 6 months ago when I finally switched to Linux. I tested several distros. Zorin and Mint both had numerous, numerous problems.
Nvidia 3080. No clue what kernel version, just installed the default from the website (full install, not a live image).
Yeah it’s pretty crazy, like Ruby was extremely well known for how good its tooling is, so much so that it inspired numerous other language package managers and build tools like elixir’s mix, rust’s cargo, and the lock files in npm and composer.
The testing frameworks everyone uses today are directly descended from Ruby’s RSpec, almost to the letter. BDD and TDD were pioneered by Ruby devs.
Extension functions in Kotlin are a direct result of lessons learned from Ruby metaprogramming while Rust and Elixir’s syntax are both directly inspired by Ruby.
The beauty of Ruby’s DSLs also spread to almost every new language. Kotlin and Gradle DSL scripts are possible because of Ruby.
Rails inspired an entirely new paradigm of web frameworks, where things were supposed to be easy by default. Laravel, Spring Boot, Phoenix, Django all are directly inspired by this, even though Django came out first it wasn’t easy to use.
